TPSX Materials Properties Database from NASA

The goal of TPSX is to provide easy and immediate access to material data for analysts, engineers and designers in the aerospace field. This version of TPSX offers data on over 1500 materials, compiled by various NASA Centers and industry sources. Most of the materials are designed for aerospace applications. This was reported in the February 2006 issue of Infowatch, a monthly electronic newsletter, published by the National Centre for Science Information (NCSI) Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore.
